Slip Back..

Rippy, I have no advise about how to feel after a slip (and I pray to God that I never do), but I wanted you to know that I hope you are feeling better soon. All I can say is that the more AF you have the better you will feel. Good luck.


Love, Me

You will get banned if you do not post positively!

Sorry, but this comment is a little unfair to newbies and to RJ. There was nothing in Ripple's post that would suggest that she may get banned soon and I think that sends a real bad message to new people who need to rant and rave about what's going on in their life.

To all the Newbies: You will not be banned just because your posts are not positive. Please feel free to let out anything that you need to vent about. We are here for you. Members have however been banned in the past for posting while drinking AND attacking other members, being very rude and disrespectful. And they were only banned after being given warnings to change their behavior. I've only been here a little over 5 months and I have never seen anyone banned who was not hurting other members. But time heals and forgiveness has been shown.

Also, please know that this is not normal behavior and it rarely happens so please do not give it much of a thought. I just didn't want the above comment to scare anyone off who does not fully understand this website and the wonderful administration that governs it.

Love, Me

Rip,

Thanks for posting this. I haven't slipped but fear of what happens after is one of the things that keeps me sober. Whatever works, right?

Glad you are getting a number of AF days behind you Rip. Thanks also for this real and honest post about your slip and how hard it is to "get it back". It helps all of us who have some AF months behind us - not to think for a minute that we can have a slip and easily get back on the wagon. It messes with our heads and bodies.

That set aside I want to make an "observation" if that's okay with you Rip. (Since you have been one of the most openly honest people here on the boards with sharing exactly whats going on at all times with you!)

A couple of months before your slip - you started "thinking" about drinking again. You posted it and I could tell the stage was being set for you to drink again. I posted back at you to "be careful" and "why would you want to even mess with it".

The only reason I "Recognized " a coming slip was this is my exact past with quitting smoking. I would actually start "thinking" about smoking again several weeks before I'd do it. I just want to point out to all of us - that this is exactly how it goes BEFORE a slip. We really do PLAN it out in our heads long before we do it.

Just something to be aware of ....

Love you Rip and hope you are back on the fast track to your AF days! :l

I am glad that you are feeling better RIP...Alot of people really care for you.It is SOOO GREAT to have a place where you can be honest and not worry that people will use your words against you....I used to feel like I had to hide the pain that I felt and only worry about the other person...I lived that way for most of my life...I was dead wrong,it almost killed me...Never again...EVIE
